INTRODUCTION

WHAT IS VERTICAL ELECTIVE ORGANISATION?

A vertical structure allows classes to be made up on the basis of students’ abilities and interests, rather than just on their age or the year that they are in. The vertical elective structure has a number of advantages, including: Students will be able to choose more elective courses, if they wish over the two years rather

than only being able to choose subjects at the start of Year 9 and stay with them until the end of Year 10.

Students will have access to a wider variety of choices. Students can “taste” a course rather than be “locked in” for 2 years. Students can take a course just for interest, not as part of a larger study. Students have more power to “design” their pattern of study, to change direction if a course does

not meet their needs. Students will usually be doing a course because they want to, leading to more successful

learning. We will be able to offer the widest possible choice of electives at The Hills Sports High School.

Not all courses offered will run. It will depend on the number of students selecting each course and the staff available.

COURSE FEES Some courses will require a fee to be charged to cover the cost of materials which are used in lessons and which are usually consumed by the student (as in the case of food) or taken home as a finished job (as in the case of timber, textiles and visual arts etc). If a problem with paying these fees arises, then you should contact the Principal. Check the cost of courses you and your child select for the planned pattern of study. You will be invoiced for these fees.

Years 9 and 10 Curriculum Courses of 100 hours or 200 hours duration (i.e. 1 or 2 years) will be studied in Years 9 and 10. All students must fulfill certain requirements set down by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). These requirements are summarised below: All students, between Year 7 and Year 10 must study English, Mathematics, Science, PD/H/PE,

History and Geography and do Sport for at least 4 years. At The Hills Sports High these subjects are in the “core” areas and will be studied in each year.

Students must study minimum requirements for Language other Than English, Technology, and

Creative Arts including Visual Arts and Music. At The Hills Sports High School these requirements are met in Years 7 and 8. Students can choose to do additional studies in these subjects as part of the elective structure in Year 9 and 10.

During Years 9 and 10, students must study at least one elective course for 200 hours (2 years), and 2 other elective courses for 100 hours (i.e. 1 year), or two 200 hundred hour courses. At The Hills Sports High School students will be able to study much more than this. In fact, they can study up to 5 elective courses over the 2 years.

TSP STUDENTS Talented Sports Program (TSP) students must select Physical Activity & Sports Studies - TSP –

Human Movement and Performance I course in Year 9 and Human Movement and Performance II in Year 10 for a total of 200 hours as part of their elective pattern.

• One of the TSP training times will occur during the practical component of this course.

INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY Students may be accredited for up to 2 courses based on the Years 7–10 Industrial Technology Syllabus. Each course may comprise: 1 focus area studied for 100 hours (core modules only) or 1 focus area studied for 200 hours (core modules plus 2 specialised modules). Course combinations in the study of Industrial Technology Years 7–10 may include either:

• 1 x 100-hour course or • 1 x 200-hour course or • 2 x 100-hour courses or • 2 x 200-hour courses or • 1 x 100-hour course and 1 x 200-hour course.

Each course must be based on the study of one focus area only. Where a student undertakes two courses in Industrial Technology, they must be from different focus areas, such as Metal or Timber.
